Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan

Early morning, Fuyuki Church.

As the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, Kirei Kotomine was sitting in the confessional, sweating profusely, constantly wiping his monocle.

Wei Yuanchuan made a huge commotion last night.

Although the official explanation was a "gas explosion" and a "mudslide caused by torrential rain," the Magic Association has sent several strongly worded inquiry letters.

What troubled him even more was that the two instigators arrived.

"Bang!"

The chapel doors were violently pushed open.

Sunlight streamed in through the doorway, casting two long shadows.

The blond young man walking in front was full of energy, and although he was dressed casually, he exuded an aura of supreme authority.

The silver-armored female knight following behind him had a serious expression. Although she looked somewhat tired, her holy aura still made people afraid to look directly at her.

Good morning, Father.

Luo Chen strode into the church, casually found a seat in the first row, and sat down as naturally as if he were back home.

"You should have prepared the rewards for defeating Caster by now, right?"

Kotomine Ryouko swallowed hard, glanced at Luo Chen, and then at Artoria standing beside him who hadn't even sat down.

According to the script, this credit should have been given to Tokiomi.

But the "double Excalibur" that pierced the heavens and earth last night was seen by all the Masters, so there's no way to deny it.

"Cough...of course."

Kotomine Risuke tried to appear calm, rolling up his sleeves to reveal the dense array of spare Command Seals on his arms.

"According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, the duo that eliminates the serious violator Caster will receive additional Command Seals as a reward. Since it's the two of them teaming up..."

"Give me a stroke, give Saber a stroke?" Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, exactly."

"No need for that."

Luo Chen waved his hand and said something surprising:

"Give both Command Seals to Saber."

"What?"

Not only Kotomine Risei, but even Artoria, who had been silent all along, looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

"Luo Chen, this is against the rules. Last night's attack, your contribution was no less than mine. Moreover, Command Seals are a Master's most important resource..."

"To me, Command Seals are nothing more than chains used to restrain disobedient tools."

Luo Chen stood up and walked to Artoria.

He lowered his head slightly, his emerald green eyes reflecting the somewhat bewildered face of the young female knight:

"But those around me, whether it's the queen in my home or you, the knight king, are not beings that need to be controlled with chains."

"I believe in our bond, which is stronger than the red lines on the back of my hand."

These words were spoken with righteous indignation (in reality, Morgan's personality would have made him furious if he had used Command Spells).

But to Artoria, this was absolute trust and respect.

In this Holy Grail War filled with deceit and Masters treating Servants as tools, Luo Chen's composure stands out brilliantly.

"……I see."

Artoria took a deep breath and solemnly performed a knightly salute:

"I, Artoria Pendragon, will never betray this trust."

[Ding! The affection level for the target 'Artoria' has increased.]

[Current assessment: You are a confidant who understands me/an ally worthy of my loyalty.]

Kotomine Riko watched this scene, her lips twitching.

Are these two here to show off their love? This is a church, not a wedding venue!

But he didn't dare to waste any words and quickly used his supervisor's authority to transfer the two Command Seals to Artoria's Master.

……

After leaving the church.

"So, what's next..."

Luo Chen stopped and looked at the two women behind him.

"Although the Einzbern castle is remote, its location has been exposed after last night's battle. Since that man, Kiritsugu Emiya, chose to retreat, it means he may have abandoned that stronghold, or used it as bait."

When Kiritsugu was mentioned, Irisviel's eyes dimmed slightly.

Although she understood her husband's ideals, the feeling of being "strategically abandoned" still pained her.

"If you don't mind."

Luo Chen extended an invitation, "Come live with me."

"Eh? This..." Irisviel hesitated, "But Miss Morgan, she..."

"Don't worry about Morgan." Luo Chen smiled confidently. "In this house, although she is the queen, I am still the head of the household. Moreover, Fairy Palace has the strongest defensive magic in Fuyuki City, which is the safest place for you while you are still recovering."

Artoria looked at Irisviel: "Irisviel, I think Luo Chen's suggestion is reasonable. Given your current physical condition, if you were to encounter an attack from Assassin or Archer, I'm afraid..."

"Alright." Irisviel nodded, looking at Luo Chen gratefully, and said, "Then I'll take care of you."

……

Half an hour later, in the deep mountain town, the fairy leaves the palace.

When Artoria and Irisviel stepped into the mansion, which had been transformed into an "ice palace," they were still taken aback by its extravagance.

Compared to the rigid and cold Einzbern Castle, this place, although also in cool tones, exudes a refined sense of life.

"Welcome back, brother!"

Hearing the door open, Sakura, wearing a purple dress, ran out carrying a doll.

But when she saw Irisviel following behind Luo Chen, she immediately stopped and timidly hid behind Luo Chen.

"Don't be afraid, Sakura."

Luo Chen patted her head. "This is Aunt Irisviel... uh, my sister."

"What an adorable child."

Overwhelmed by maternal instincts, Irisviel couldn't help but kneel down when she saw Sakura's pitiful appearance. "Hello, I'm Irisviel. Your hair is so beautiful."

Perhaps because Irisviel possessed a gentle aura similar to her mother's, Sakura didn't resist; instead, she blushed and nodded, "Hello..."

Artoria crouched down, her gaze level with Sakura's, her expression serious.

"Hello, Sakura. Thank you for the pudding last time. I'll protect you if you ever get into danger."

For the King of Knights, protecting the weak is instinct.

Sakura blinked, looking at the strikingly beautiful older sister who had previously come to her house for a free meal, and whispered:

"Big sister... is she a knight too? A knight like my brother?"

"Huh?" Artoria was taken aback, then gave a gentle smile. "Yes. Although we come from different times and spaces, our beliefs are the same."

Just as this warm atmosphere was about to spread—

"Da, da, da."

The sound of high heels clicking on the floor came from the stairs.

Morgan, dressed in a black casual suit and holding a folding fan, looked down at the people in the hall.

Her gaze swept over Irisviel and Artoria with a clear hint of displeasure, as if "a mouse has gotten into the house."

"I knew it."

Morgan snorted and slowly walked down the stairs, his powerful aura causing the surrounding air to drop several degrees.

"As soon as I let you out, you bring home all sorts of weird things. Arthur, are you treating this place like a shelter for stray cats and dogs?"

"Morgan!" Luo Chen called out helplessly, "They're allies."

"ally?"

Morgan walked up to Artoria. Despite the significant height difference between them, their confrontational auras even created a static spark between them.

"Does this so-called ally mean that stupid little sister who just eats through my fridge and my husband has to come to my rescue?"

Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) stood up instantly, retaliating defiantly:

"Lord Morgan, please watch your words. I'm here to protect Irisviel and to discuss countermeasures against the King of Heroes. As for the refrigerator... I'll pay for its food!"

"Food expenses?" Morgan chuckled, covering her mouth with her fan as if she'd heard a joke. "With the treasury of your fallen kingdom? Or with you, a Master whose magical supply has been cut off?"

"You—!" Artoria was speechless with anger.

Seeing that a "family war" was about to break out, Luo Chen skillfully stepped between the two, putting one arm around Morgan's waist and patting Artoria's shoulder with the other.

"Alright, everyone, say less."

Luo Chen looked at Morgan, leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Tonight I'll cook your favorite beef stew in red wine myself. And... you can be on top tonight."

Morgan's face flushed slightly, the murderous intent in his eyes dissipated considerably, and he gave a haughty snort:

"Since you've begged me... then I'll take pity on you and allow them to stay temporarily."

She turned around and pointed with her fan to the guest room in the far corner of the second floor:

"That's your room. Remember, the master bedroom is off-limits. If you're not afraid of dying, feel free to come and eavesdrop tonight."

After saying that, Morgan, like a victorious peacock, turned and went upstairs with arrogance.

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the embarrassed Artoria and Irisviel.

"Sorry, that's just her personality, sharp tongue but soft heart. Actually, she already had her familiar clean the room."

As Artoria watched Luo Chen skillfully soothe Morgan, a pang of sadness welled up in her heart for some reason.

"What does 'being able to be on top' mean?"

The naive knight king didn't understand the terrible promise, but her intuition told her that it was something very intimate.

"In short, welcome to our hotel."

Luo Chen opened his arms, and sunlight shone on his back.

Today is perhaps the liveliest day for this home, which was converted from an insect burrow.

And this place will be the best place to prepare for the upcoming "Three Kings Banquet".
